After an explosive and massively successful second season, CBS is turning up the heat this summer with Love Island USA season 3. New year, new season of Love Island USA! After a lukewarm inaugural season in 2019, the American series figured out its format and delivered a truly iconic second season. For a lot of longtime Love Island fans, Love Island USA season 2 was on par with some of the very best seasons of the original UK series.
After Love Island USA season 2 ended, it felt like a given that CBS would greenlight the show for a third cycle. With that said, it felt like a very long wait for new Love Island fans who had just found out about this show and felt like the second season was just a bit too short. In the meantime, the stars of Love Island USA season 2 became extremely successful social media influencers - landing brand deals, company sponsorships, and modeling bookings.
There is a lot of hype (and expectations) for Love Island USA season 3, particularly from fans who want it to be just as entertaining as last year's cycle. All things considered, the viewers want to better understand the Love Island USA schedule so that they can keep up with this fun and wild show.
Love Island USA Season 3 Premiere & Week One Schedule
The Love Island USA season 3 premiere will be a 90-minute episode scheduled to air at 9:30pm ET/PT on Wednesday, July 7 (via CBS). Following the season 3 premiere, new one-hour episodes of Love Island USA will go on the air on Thursday and Friday at 9pm ET/PT. Then, a two-hour episode (you read that right: two hours!) of Love Island USA will air on Sunday, July 11 between 9 and 11pm.
Love Island USA Season 3 Schedule Starting In Week Two
The official schedule for the rest of Love Island USA season 3 will be kicked off on Tuesday, July 13. From that point forward, new episodes of Love Island USA will air on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays on CBS. All episodes are scheduled to start at 9pm ET/PT. Sunday episodes are set to always be two hours long, while all other episodes are expected to be one hour long. Longtime Love Island viewers know that, every now and then, the show chooses to make this or that episode a bit longer. Therefore, it's possible that certain episodes will be 90 minutes long - but we will only know that as the season goes on and CBS makes those programming decisions.
It felt like a very long wait for Love Island USA to come back to our screens, but the season is officially here to heat up the reality TV summer over at CBS. Hopefully, this season will have great islanders for the fans to fall in love with.
Love Island USA season 3 airs Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 9:30pm ET/PT on CBS.
